The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here, and I’ll tell you straight – this forecast for Praia do Amor over the next two and a half weeks is a total flatline. Not a single day stands out as worth the effort.
Starting Wednesday, August 5th, it’s a mess. Wind is cross-shore, swell is only 4ft from the ESE with a short 8-second period, and the combined energy is weak (187). Water temp is 80°, which is about average for this time of year.
Thursday the 6th through Sunday the 9th is all cross-onshore wind, tiny 3–4ft swell, periods barely hitting 7 seconds, and the energy stays weak to moderate (91–155). Rain and thunderstorms pop up, and the surface is choppy. Not worth the wet suit.
Monday the 10th and Tuesday the 11th don’t change much. Tuesday morning gives a brief 8-second period from the SE with 4ft swell and moderate energy at 256, but the wind is cross, and it’s still called poor surf. You’re not missing a thing.
Wednesday the 12th morning offers a short window of cleaner conditions – a light cross-offshore wind from the S, 4ft from the ESE, but only 7 seconds. Energy is moderate (151). It’s the best of a bad bunch, but that’s not saying much.
From Thursday the 13th through the end, it’s all cross-onshore or cross winds, tiny swell, short periods. Saturday the 15th morning drops to just 1ft with a 14-second period – that groundswell is too small to matter, especially with a cross-onshore breeze. The last few days, from the 17th to the 20th, serve up 4–4ft, 6-second period junk with moderate energy and choppy conditions.
If you’ve got a kite, that cross-onshore wind and bumpy water might give you a ride. For a surfer, there’s nothing here.
Rusty.

Information about the Praia do Amor Surf forecast
The above surf forecast table for Praia do Amor provides essential information for determining whether the surfing conditions will be good over the next 16 days. A general guide to surfing at Praia do Amor can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu. Our Praia do Amor surf forecast is unique since it includes wave energy (power) that defines the real feel of the surf rather than just the height or the period. If you surf the same spot (Praia do Amor) regularly then make a mental note of the wave energy from the surf forecast table each time you go. Very soon you may start to choose your surf days based on the wave energy alone combined with our forecast of favourable offshore wind conditions. Our star ratings will help here and of course you will also find the usual wave height and period predictions on our surf forecasts as well as a full break down of the swell components under our advanced users option (to reveal that, click the little Einstein character under the tide times).
Further information to help with frequently asked questions about our surf forecast for Praia do Amor may be found under the help tab on the top menu and also by moving your mouse over the question marks on the surf forecast table itself. Please always bear in mind that the forecast is for near-shore open water and local factors at each surf break influence the actual breaking wave height, such as the beach / reef profile, water depths offshore and shelter.
